FINAL SPOTS AWARDED FOR 2011 SURFEST

Merewether’s Jake Sylvester and Nelson Bay’s Nick Coughlin, have grabbed the final two wildcards for the open men’s division at Surfest, following today’s trials at Anna Bay.

A strong breeze limited the amount of workable rides and also did no favours for one organiser in particular.

Jackson Baker competed in three of today’s four finals, scoring a wildcard in the Cadet Cup.

Kurtis Herman missed out on a ticket for the main event, but did earn a place in the Pro Junior.
